The most powerful Audi R8 convertible supercar has arrived
Audi
On Friday, Audi unveiled the fourth and final member of its R8 supercar lineup.
"The Audi R8 Spyder V10 Plus completes the R8 model line," Audi Sport managing director, Stephan Winkelmann, said in a statement."The Spyder is now also available as a 610 hp top version in addition to the Coupé. It benefits from our many years of experience in motorsport and combines breathtaking dynamics with the emotion of an open-top sports car."
Like the hardtop R8 V10 Plus on which it is based, the Spyder gets a 610 horsepower version of Audi's breathtaking 5.2-liter V10 engine. The glorious powerplant is also shared with its corporate sibling, the Lamborghini Huracan.

Underneath the stylish bodywork lies a truly state-of-the-art Teutonic supercar. The R8 is built around Audi's aluminum and carbon fiber-heavy space frame designed to improve chassis rigidity and crash safety while reducing weight and vibrations.
Inside, the Spyder is loaded with tech - including the latest version of Audi's multi-media interface and stunning virtual cockpit digital instrument display, winner of Business Insider's 2016 Infotainment System of the Year award.

For those looking for less intensity, a 540 horsepower version of the R8 V10 Spyder is already available.
The 2018 Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder is currently available for orders with customer deliveries expected to commence later this summer. Official US pricing for Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder has not yet been announced. However, we expect that figure to be a tad over $200,000.
